Bass 305\" style=\"height:200px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Bass 305 were, at one point in time, releasing a new album every year. Now fans have to wait a decade. Their newest have come literally once every ten years. This Bass Resurrection; another album title that has to do with coming back; is even more of a tease as it&#8217;s initially promoted as a limited edition of 305 CDs; actual Compact Discs; a throwback to their 1990s heyday. Fans who miss out have to wait even longer to hear it.<\/p>\n<p>Is it worth the wait? Well, it&#8217;s the best Bass 305 album since their 1995 <a href=\"https:\/\/marcellee.com\/?p=21271\" title=\"audio review : Departure ( album ) ... Bass 305\">Departure<\/a>, which doesn&#8217;t mean much considering every album since has been way below par. This set pays homage to <a href=\"https:\/\/marcellee.com\/?p=21252\" title=\"audio review : Digital Bass ( album ) ... Bass 305\">Digital Bass<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/marcellee.com\/?p=21255\" title=\"audio review : Bass [ The Future ] ( album ) ... Bass 305\">Bass The Future<\/a>, but <a href=\"https:\/\/marcellee.com\/?p=21265\" title=\"audio review : Virtual Bass ( album ) ... Bass 305\">Virtual Bass<\/a> is their real magnum opus. An album comparable to that would be a return to form. This is merely a return to decency, which, after all these years, is still a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s even more surprising are collabs with not only past labelmates Techno Bass Crew and Underground Bass Masters but rivals Techmaster PEB and Bass Mekanik; the latter of which includes the album&#8217;s best music. <a href=\"https:\/\/marcellee.com\/?p=121215\" title=\"audio review : Good Versus Evil ( song ) ... Bass 305 + Bass Mekanik\">Good Versus Evil<\/a> is a frustrating listen though as the angelic piano chorus; this beautiful bit should&#8217;ve been looped to no end; is abandoned halfway in. A similar thing happens on <a href=\"https:\/\/marcellee.com\/?p=108623\" title=\"audio review : Outer World ( song ) ... Bass 305\">Outer World<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s up with all the rehashing? I don&#8217;t like the idea of remakes in general. Remaking your own songs when there&#8217;s nothing wrong with the originals, not to mention the fact that you&#8217;ve already remade them before in the past, is just absurd. Even worse are the Quad City songs; the Bassheads anthem is so damn annoying; and the <a href=\"https:\/\/marcellee.com\/?p=23878\" title=\"audio review : The Comeback ( album ) ... Bass 305\">Comeback<\/a> Mash-Up at the end. These tracks make no sense on a new Bass 305 album.<\/p>\n<p>Dreamer, on the other hand, is a conceptual improvement over its Cryptobass demo version. Bass Love Ballad should&#8217;ve also been given a proper title, but it too sounds nice. Add One Small Step; these Florida boys have always been enamored with the purported Apollo moon missions; to the list of standouts and you start to realize the best moments of this Resurrection revolve not around Bass but pianos.<\/p>\n<p>my rating : 3 of 5<\/p>\n<p>2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bass 305 were, at one point in time, releasing a new album every year.
